Bibi's Room

Hyderabadi Women and Twentieth-Century Urdu Prose

Nazia Akhtar

Bibi's Room sheds light on the neglected Urdu literary history of women writers in Hyderabad, offering a nuanced exploration of the lives and work of three influential writers: Zeenath Sajida, Najma Nikhat, and Jeelani Bano. This book provides representative translations, biographies, and critical analyses of their oeuvres, set against the backdrop of twentieth-century Hyderabadi history, politics, culture, and society. Through their writings, these women offer rich portrayals of Hyderabadi urban culture, critiques of gender and patriarchy, and powerful narrations of women's lives and participation in revolutionary struggles. A valuable addition to studies of Urdu literature, South Asian feminism, and the history and culture of Hyderabad.

This book just arrived. I had the privilege of reading it in manuscript. It’s a beautifully written study of three remarkable women writers from Hyderabad.      fuente
